Hmm, OK I must admit I do not reada the docs any more when I compile and
I don't use depkgs at all. I use Debian's source packages to get the
stuff I need as I don't like doing 'out of packaging stuff (I'm actually
contradicting myself as I compile Bacula manually instead of using the
Debian packages ;) ).
The issue is: Debian has multiple qwts, but only /usr/include/qwt-qt4
and the library called libqwt-qt4 works for compiling bat. configure
however uses /usr/include/qwt, no matter what one specifies to the
- --with-qwt parameter.
Given that we have had several users with this problem in the -users
list, I guess I'm not the only one doing it that way (without depkgs).
The workaround is to run configure and then go into src/qt-console to
fix the references to qwt in the includes and library sections of
Makefile and bat.pro (replace qwt by qwt-qt4 and compilation works).
As mentioned before, it is no big deal but some people just expect
configure to find the proper includes or at least allow you to override
them, neither of which seems to work here. I'd contribute a patch, but
alas I am absolutely clueless as to how configure and the likes function
(I'm already happy if I manage to hack a Makefile to do my bidding).
Greetings,
Michel
